Moderna Museet Collection

Stockholm

What is the Moderna Museet collection? A wonderful way to travel in time, art and ideas. Here, you will find some of the world’s finest art, modern and contemporary, Swedish and international, including key works by the most prominent artists of the 20th and 21st centuries.

We’re moving things around

In the course of 2019, nineteen completely re-hung rooms will be presented in The Collection. Visit us regularly to see how art history and the collection meet in new ways. Check what works are currently on display by using Search the collection.

The Museum shows selected works that are changed and reinstalled continuously. This means that you might see something different on each visit. In the collection presentation you can experience contemporary and older work in a variety of techniques and by different artists, including:

Textile works, artist books and art that defies categorisation or description of technique. Guided tours, performances, artist talks, symposia and many other events and activities explore the contents and narratives in the collection.

Search the collection

It would be impossible to show all the 140,000 works in the collection at once, so we regularly change the art in our exhibition rooms.

Audio guides

Take a tour at your own pace! The Audio Guide tells you more about Moderna Museet’s comprehensive collection, temporary exhibitions and outdoor sculptures. The Audio Guide is available in Swedish and English, for adults and kids.

The collection belongs to the Swedish people

Moderna Museet buys art for our shared cultural heritage, and the collection is owned by the Swedish people. The Museum’s job is to collect, preserve and show art representing the period from the early 20th century to today, and the photographic collection, which begins with the birth of photography in the mid-19th century.
